West Ham vs Liverpool – 6/1 on away win

Liverpool
can put the Premier League title race beyond any reasonable doubt by beating
West Ham in their own stadium on Wednesday night, a game which was initially
postponed as a result of the reds’ commitments in the Club World Cup late last
year.

It’s very difficult to go against a Liverpool
win this season, particularly when they come up against a struggling West Ham
side who just cannot seem to put on a string of good results together.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have been almost faultless
in the league so far this season and the gap they’ve created between themselves
and their closest rivals is evidence to this.
The trip to West Ham is not expected to derail their relentless march to
glory and are heavily tipped to make it 15 consecutive league wins on the
bounce if they secure all three points at the London stadium.

After producing yet another dismal performance
against Championship leaders West Brom in the FA Cup, the hosts need an
encouraging performance to get the fans back behind them.

Hopes of clinching an Europa league berth in
the beginning of the season were quickly dashed, and their main priority now is
to stave off the threat of another relegation.
David Moyes’ side presently sit just outside the bottom three due their
superior goal-difference over Bournemouth and Watford, whom they are level on
points with.

West Ham Team News

David Moyes goes into the meeting with old
rivals Liverpool from his days of managing Everton and Man Utd with a lengthy
injury list with questions marks over the availabilities of Arthur Masuaku and
Robert Snodgrass.

On the other hand, captain Mark Noble, Michail
Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna who were missing in the FA Cup defeat at
the weekend, are expected to be back in the starting line-up.

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool are once again resigned to be without
prolific forward Sadio Mane whose injury problem is yet to be revealed
and is not expected to feature at all in this game.

James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne are both ruled out,
while Xherdan Shaqiri remains a serious doubt with Adam Lallana
to be assessed having struggled with illness this week.

With Divock Origi set to start and new signing
Takumi Minamino available, Mane’s absence should not be much of a concern
against the hammers.

Head to Head

Liverpool have enjoyed their recent fixtures
against the hammers, scoring 19 goals during a six-match league unbeaten run
which stretches back to January 2016.

West Ham managed to claim just a draw against
the reds in their last five meetings, the draw coming in the corresponding
fixture of last season contributing to the reds losing the title to rivals Man
City.

Those were in fact Liverpool’s first dropped points at the London Stadium, having managed to win on both previous visits by a four-goal margin.

Get 6/1 on Liverpool to win

Prediction

Even with Mane missing out, the gulf in quality
between the two sides is still very much there for everyone to see. West Ham need to make their home advantage
count, despite their current form at home being heavily stacked against them.

Can David Moyes’ men profit from Liverpool’s
recent vulnerability on the road?
